Description
Dear friends, we are excited to announce that on
November 20-26th we are holding the III Trilateral Youth
Forum "Germany-Russia-Ukraine: A Common Future?"!
The final chapter of our three-year-long journey to
encourage dialogue between young leaders from three
countries happens in beautiful Kyiv. The Forum is
organised by DRJUG e.V. Ассоциация ДРУГ,
Foundation for International Youth Exchange (Moscow)
and NGO Young Diplomacy Center.
What role do the youth and civil societies play in easing
tensions between states? How does media affect our
perception of other countries? How do young people feel
and what do they think on the other side of the
conflict? These and many other questions are raised in
our three-year youth project designed by youth from
three different countries –– Trilateral Youth Forum
“Germany, Russia, Ukraine: A Common Future?”.
Our goal is to provide youth with a platform to discuss,
doubt, raise questions, share some very different at
times opinions but trying to define common challenges
and ways to overcome them together at the end. Would
it be an academic or a policy problem, social or cultural
issue, we welcome you to shape agenda with us. This
year in Kyiv we plan the final 3rd edition of the Forum.
And we invite you to participate in mutually respectful
discussions with experts to discover new ways of
strengthening the ties between our societies. If you are
keen on meeting active like-minded students and young
professionals from Germany, Russia and Ukraine to
create common youth and social-oriented projects,

community in our search for a better common future.
